Pork Lo Mein

Pork Lo Mein

The theme for Monday posts in December is Stir Fries.

Similar to a Skillet Dinner but done in 2 pans, Stir-Fries are fast and a great way to use up both leftovers and the odd bits in the fridge.

In my kitchen the flavors can vary from traditional Chinese to Greek to whatever sounds interesting.

They can be served on rice, as is typical, or barley or quinoa or noodles.

They’re fun, flexible, and we love them. Easy food for a busy month.

You could serve this over rice or quinoa, but we like pasta for a change. See Notes for substitutions.

  1. Thanks for sharing these great recipes with everyone. And, I did re-read your email and found the 2nd short link works for me. However, the long clicking link doesn’t — the one with all of the extra “&” attachments to the URL. Anyway, just letting you know where you can try to fix it. Also, Happy Holidays from all of us in Texas. And, please, make sure you spend some quality time with the new Pupper.

    • Thanks for letting me know. It’s a strange problem but I’m working on it. Happy Holidays to you and yours as well! Puppy got chicken feet for Christmas… he’s happy!

  2. I love stir-fry and husband has finally developed a taste for it so it’s often in my rotation. This one will be too!

  3. Looks so tasty and would make the kitchen smell great ! Definitely you would have a dog lurking and salivating under your feet while you whip this up
